Shame on Times for suggesting Trump's ouster

My blood pressure was boiling after reading your March 2 editorial, “When is a coup not a coup?” Shame on you as a news organization!

Like most on the left, you evidently believe that the removal of President Trump means that the ends justify the means. It is not the power of a few to undo a duly elected president. You know that the 25th Amendment was instituted after President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed, to find a way to facilitate the proper transfer of power in an emergency. This is not an emergency.

You know that a growth rate in the gross domestic product of more than 3 percent, reduced unemployment, trade deals renegotiated and reduced regulations have given us an economy on fire. I could go on and on. The right suffered through the Solyndra scandal, the Benghazi attack, the IRS suppression of conservative groups and lies about the Affordable Care Act (such as the claim that it would reduce family costs by $2,500). I could go on and on once again. The right didn’t plan any coup, but it presented an agenda and sold it to the people.

Now you want socialism. Really? Is the New Green Deal all you have? Early estimates show that it would cost $300,000 for every American. And at the rate the “progressives” want open borders, the cost will go up as we tend to the world.

And there isn’t means to impeach and remove to remove this duly elected president, so rather than present a rational agenda that would win the election in 2020 and remove him that way, you seek ways to remove him by any means necessary. Shame on you. Remember that what you dish out today may haunt you tomorrow.

As a senior citizen, I am appalled at your editorial. Coups belong in banana republics, not democratic republics. I want the country to remain free; I want to drive whatever car I choose; I don’t want someone dictating what home improvements I make to my home;and I don’t want to receive fewer Social Security benefits than I have paid in because “some” in our country want to take care of the world.

Get a grip, Cape Cod Times. You may think it’s OK to reflect common people in their opinions. But people who choose to take a deeper dive find out, and I certainly expected more than this from you. Shame on you!

By the way, I am an independent voter. But the farther left the Democratic Party goes, the more I am forced to the right. Consider this a warning of the silent movement going on, and I suggest your paper constrain your obvious bias before losing your readership completely.
